Gregangelo-Bio



    Transport your guests into a new realm.


    Through a brilliant combination of multi media, theatrical and special effect artistry combined with signature fantastical performing artists, Gregangelo will transform and animate your venue into a sensational Wonderworld ...


    Gregangelo is the founding and artistic director of Velocity Arts and Entertainment and Velocity Circus as well as an active board member and major donor of Velocity's affiliate non-profit organization C.U.E. (Children United by Experience). A genuine San Francisco native, Gregangelo was born, raised, educated and established his professional world headquarters in San Francisco. He is a graduate of the California College of the Arts and has over three decades of extensive training and performing experience in visual arts, dance, music, circus arts, costume and theatrical production design.


    The persona of Gregangelo has become synonymous with the exceptional, the exquisite, the mystical and the magical in quality arts and entertainment. The San Francisco Chronicle once ranked him as one of "The Entertainers" and his work has been featured in numerous magazines, periodicals and television specials including HGTV's Offbeat America, Bravo and Cirque Du Soleil's Solstrom. His creative force turned a single story structure of a house, over a twenty five year creative binge, into the 22 room Gregangelo Museum, a labyrinthine multi media wonderland of hand-painted frescoes & mosaics, elaborately decorated tufted ceilings, layers of sensory rooms with secret passage ways and special effects, a multitude of artifacts from the hands of Velocity artists and original characters from every corner of the imagination from the ancient to the futuristic. One international visitor to the Gregangelo Museum seemed to say it all with the quintessential comment: "I will never be impressed again."


    When not pushing the proverbial envelope of artistic innovation, Gregangelo finds time to be a guest lecturer on the arts at Stanford University and CCA and a mentor, teacher and advocate of youth and emerging Bay Area artists. He has professional memberships with American Guild of Variety Artists, California College of Arts Alumni, San Francisco Convention and Visitors Bureau, Greater Phoenix Convention and Visitors Bureau, International Association of Fairs and Festivals, Association of Arts Presenters, Western Arts Alliance, San Francisco Chamber of Commerce and the International Special Events Society. His performances have been seen over 25 years throughout the US, Europe, Asia and Africa and have inspired millions of audience members worldwide.


    Museum commissions include San Francisco's de Young Museum, Berkeley Contemporary Art Museum & Film Archive, Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History and the Museum of Oakland, in addition to California College of the Arts (CCA), San Francisco Symphony and Humanities West.


    Among hundreds of private commissions for major corporate branding events are: Warner Bros TV, Univision, Microsoft, Intel, Cisco Systems, Lucas Film, Ltd., Lexus and Mercedes Benz, which featured Gregangelo's jaw-dropping feat of creating the Mercedes Benz logo with human bodies suspended in air.


    Featured among Gregangelo's original public self-produced multi-media presentations are: Heliosphere at San Francisco's Yerba Buena Center For The Arts, The Victoria Theatre in Dayton, Ohio and the Discovery Museum in Sausalito, CA; Heliopolis at the Marin Theatre Co and the Randall Museum in San Francisco; 1906, A Journey through the Mythical City (AKA San Frantasia), a commemorative show for the SF Historical Society at Theatre 39 in SF, and EKARA, Journey of the Egyptian Soul, a multi media dance/circus production which premiered at de Young museum in tandem with the King TUT tour.
